Eskimos receiver D’haquille “Duke” Williams has been named a CFL Player for the Month for his performance in July, marking the second consecutive honour for the former Auburn Tiger.
In three games, Williams led the Green and Gold’s receiving corps with 21 receptions for 364 yards and three touchdowns. His five consecutive 100+ yard games ties him for the team record with Brian Kelly.
Williams continues to lead the league in receiving yards with 672 and is tied for the league lead in receiving touchdowns with five.
This is the third time this season Williams has received national honours – He was previously named a CFL Player of the Month for June and CFL Player of the Week for Week 5.
CFL Players of the Month are chosen by a panel of judges who independently send their selections to the CFL head office. The panel includes former players Matt Dunigan and Duane Forde of TSN and Pierre Vercheval of RDS.
